This is an opinion piece from Fox News, but I see some common sense in this ...

In many ways Newtown CT and Sandy Hook Elementary school is their gated community and private school.
It is a place where people did feel their children were safe. Maybe it's more like they are unwilling to accept that guns may be needed to protect children no matter where they live or go to school.

As long as we're going to solve this issue with JD's poll, let's also see how much money we'll have to borrow from China to put each idea into effect. The state of WA has 300 public School districts, with 500 HS, 750 middle schools, 2000 elementary schools roughly. 1 patrol officer per school would equate to 3250 officers plus their support personnel, administrators for a state with 6 million people. A country with 300 milion people would then extrapolate to 50 times that or 162,500 patrol officers plus support personnel. At an average wage & bennies package of 90K or $14,625,000,000 per year.

Or it could done for free by eliminating gun free zones with less infringement of everyone's civil liberties, less jurisdictional disputes & faster.

Which way will the pol's choose?

So you vote for option # 4? JD
